Morgan and Dan’s Wedding

We reserved Shadow Creek for a wedding in June of 2024. The entire event was picture perfect. The venue is very elegant and yet warm and inviting. It creates a romantic setting with panoramic views of rolling hills and farmland. The owner and her team were very accommodating and professional. They offered a list of vendors with whom they have worked with in the past and each of them were amazing.

June 2024 Wedding

My husband and I just recently got married at Shadow Creek and we are still reliving our wedding day. This venue is extraordinary. From our first interaction with Lori to the conversation that I had with her right before I walked down the aisle - everything was seamless and perfect. The venue is gorgeous, it is clean, beautifully designed and creates such a warm, welcoming space for families and guests to come together and celebrate love. The Carlyle Family has truly put their heart and soul into creating such an amazing space for weddings. Thank you Shadow Creek, we will be forever grateful to have been married here!

Beautiful Shadow Creek Made Our Wedding Spectacular!

We came to Shadow Creek for its background of rolling hills, towering trees, and cow dotted pastures, but stayed for the stunning interior space. The light wood interior is loaded with many accents from beautiful chandeliers to colorful divans to rustic barrels. The bridal suite is spacious and well decorated - we spent lots of time in there taking photographs of the bridal party (8 of us). Though the groomsmen spent a fair amount of time hanging out by the firepit enjoying cigars, they had their own space loaded with leather couches and other masculine touches. Lori Carlye, owner / manager and Jimmy, our support during the wedding, were both amazing - great with ideas and suggestions while being very professional and experienced in ensuring that everything went as planned. By all accounts, our guests loved the wedding and a large part of this was the beautiful surroundings in which it was held. Thank you, Lori for everything!
